patterns may be further divided into sub-groups by means of the smaller differences existing between the patterns in the same general group. These divisions are as follows:I. ARCH a. Plain arch. b. Tented arch. II. LOOP a. Radial loop. b. Ulnar loop. III. WHORL a. Plain whorl. b. Central pocket loop. c. Double loop. d. Accidental whorl. Illustrations 1 to 10 are examples of the various types of fingerprint patterns. [Illustration: 1. Plain arch.] [Illustration: 2. Tented arch.] [Illustration:
ase of many animals itseems as though the necessity of a fluid environment for living matterdid not apply, for the superficial cells of the skin have no fluidaround them; these cells, however, are dead, and serve merely amechanical or protective purpose. All the living cells of the skin andall the cells beneath this have fluid around them.Living matter occurs always in the form of small masses called"cells," which are the living units. The cells vary in form, structureand size, some

In this work a full account is given of Buffon's conclusions on the same

All biologic phenomena act to adjust: there are no biologic actions other than adjustments. Adjustment is another name for Equilibrium. Equilibrium is the Universal, or that which
